I want them. I desire widgets or toggles on my NC like I have on my JB iOS.

Cruft? Oh widgets.
You can add them if u wish, or not. Strip away that I mentioned was on the basis that most users have them to a degree, hence strip away. Or just not add them. At least there is a choice. Choice is the best choice. Not everyone wants what I want, or Bill, or Jack, or Apple.

Who needs all that cruft. That's why I love the iPhone/iPad. No need to strip anything away.\\ /\ Alice.( ). Sent from my iPad miniTrue, its the same with Android. A game is an icon on both. Strip away the widgety geeky homesceen they can use and you have rows of icos, like iOS. They use exactly the same UI, a grid.

iOS not intuitive? Watch any toddler and you'll see that they can use an iPad quicker than anything you give them. It's the older folks that either have the mind set they don't want to learn to use an iPad that try and get confused or, like my Dad, are afraid of breaking it by touching the wrong thing that has trouble learning how to use it.\\ /\ Alice.( ). Sent from my iPad miniIntuitiive.
iOS is not intuitive, as many on here have said. Not if you have not used it before. Android is the same, but IMO less so.
Throw away the widgets and you have the same platform design, icons in rows. The issue I see, is that Apple has restrictions or missing abilities, so you use teh home buttom a lot, and you cant easilty move in apps or in browser, or to and fro very easily. Home button over and over. Back button is bizarre. Its up here, or elsewher in iOS its doen there, or its nowhere. Its klunky to navigate, pure and simple.
I feel that there is a perception that Android is complex. It can be if u want, but its just the same ol rows of icons that we all know. You can keep it simple, but they have ease of use to move arounnd the OS, we have a home button
Topics like thiss always end up with bias and emotivemess. Less is more, but iOS is cripped to use, Home button to stop everything and start over. That needs to get to todays world.

You said it David. Intuitive isn't a word I associate with Android. I use to run Windows. I got tired of "drilling down" through menu after menu to find things. I don't want to go back. Apple has shown that less is more.Question: How many people with Android phones really know how to use them vs. people with iPhones?I don't know about Android. I fiddled with someone's Android phone a few days ago. No magic there, that I could see. To each her own.--david@luda.netpad4I agree..
Look and feel changes are fine, but make them options, such as Themes.
When I see this going backwards look and feel, and admittance that the focus is on look and feel rather than features, I am a bit gobsmacked. No, I don't want a gazillion features adding pages galore in the Settings, but being intuituve and easy to use as where Android has got to, finally. Apple, you need to tap more, swipe more, and wear out the already poor Home button. While they are slow and behind, please keep adding the old and useful Android features as has been the case very very often in the past. Please dont only listen to the utterings of anti Apple syers saying the UI is old and boring, then make the UI look old and boring.
I see this as a turning point. When app devs are at the point in "ok, we now have to make all our apps have a WP version" what then?

Change for the sake of change, imposing your own stamp, because you can,
etc.
Dumbing down, dulling up, taking the real-world-look out of it...
I don't think much of the direction this style is taking, if the rumors to
turn out to be true....
But then, I'm certainly not in a demographic that they are aiming at, so
what I think doesn't matter, I'm just an old fogey who actually knows what a
pad of paper *looks* like (so I'm not confused by the representation of one
as a notes-app icon).

Dont follow your point
Are you referring to the dumbing down of the icons?

On the whole -- IMO, yuck.
Sounds like a lot of "now I'm in charge, so I'll make changes because I can,
not to make things better but so it'll be *my* system, and *my* system has
to be *different* from the old one no matter what."
